2.0 Programming Description
2.1 MICROWIRE INTERFACE
The MICROWIRE interface is comprised of an 18-bit shift register, a R register and a N register. The shift register consists of a
17-bit DATA field and a 1-bit address (ADDR) field as shown below. When Latch Enable transitions HIGH, data stored in the shift
register is loaded into either the R or N register depending on the ADDR bit as described in Table 2.1.1. The data is loaded MSB
first. The DATA field assignment for the R and N registers are shown in Table 2.1.2 below.

2.1.1 Address Bit Truth Table
When LE is transitioned high, data is transferred from the 18-bit shift register into either the 14-bit R register, or the 17-bit N
register depending upon the state of the ADDR bit.

2.2 R REGISTER
If the Address Bit (ADDR) is 1, when LE is transitioned high data is transferred from the 18-bit shift register into the 14-bit R
register. The R register contains a latch which sets the PLL 10-bit R counter divide ratio. The divide ratio is programmed using
the bits R_CNTR as shown in 2.2.1 10-Bit Programmable Reference Divider Ratio (R Counter) The ratio must be
≥
2. The
PD_POL and CP_TRI bits control the phase detector polarity and charge pump TRI-STATE respectively, as shown in 2.2.2 R[11],
R[12] Truth Table X denotes a don’t care condition.

Note:
Divide ratio: 2 to 1,023 (Divide ratios less than 2 are prohibited).
R_CNTR—These bits select the divide ratio of the programmable reference dividers.

Note:
Depending upon VCO characteristics, R[12] shoud be set accordingly. When VCO characteristics are positive, R[12] should be set HIGH. When VCO
characteristics are negative, R[12] should be set LOW.
